Sounds like a shitty holster.
Link doesnt work? Must have been leather/nylon holster, could happen easily. Very sad!
I don't see how this could happen with a quality shoulder rig. A crappy one, combined with a back-hug from a too-friendly sasquatch, maybe, but a nice Galco rig or the like? Hmmm.
I dont have numbers to back it up, but look at all the "accidental discharges" over the last few years and all that i can remember were with leather holsters. The guy that shot him self and died in front of his kids while his wife was getting a movie, the guy that shot his floor board while buckling his seatbelt. Most of them are leather belt holsters but nylon is even worse. Their have been some with kydex holsters but most were user error on serpa holsters etc and happened upon drawing the weapon. I will stick with kydex holsters and kydex trigger guard holsters.
Either way if she hugged him from behind therefore pulling the gun towards her in the holster causing a discharge the holster was either to tight in the trigger guard area, the holster was bunched up from being soft and or worn, or it was the wrong holster. Still a very sad story.
Edit, the other question is was the gun modified? Bubba 1lb trigger job etc? I have made some kydex holsters and sold them, each one is tested for every possible thing i can think of includeing discharge etc.

see if that works
this whole thing stinks, I believe most of these "accidents" are not accidents at all. A good quality weapon will NOT fire unless the trigger is depressed, period. Fishy.

I tend to agree with you Stevelkinevil. As soon as I read the opening paragraph of the story, I thought "there's got to be a lot more to this story than that...". I doubt we'll ever know the circumstances of this tragedy. I wonder what witnesses have to say about it?
